Rangers beating up on left-handed starters

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Yovani Gallardo (49) pitches in the first inning against the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park.

Lewis is on track to finish with about 190 innings in 2015, another solid return from the lanky right-hander. Texas has a.247/.310/.399 statline against left-handers compared to.259/.323/.413 against righties.

Seriously? I’m as big a Tigers fan as anybody and there’s a zero percent chance that I have my eye on every single pitch thrown during the course of a game.

Randy Wolf came back from a rough third inning to hold the Texas Rangers to one hit across his final four frames, but the Detroit Tigers offense was still missing in action.

Cespedes hit three home runs, including a grand slam, and had a career-high seven RBIs and the Mets overpowered the Colorado Rockies 14-9.

Verlander (1-6) took the loss despite allowing two runs – one earned – and four hits with a walk in seven innings.

“There’s no use crying over spilt milk”, Brad Ausmus said on Thursday afternoon before his Tigers won their third straight game.

Simon threw a one-hitter in his first career complete game, a 4-0 victory over the Texas Rangers.

“I know it’s something that is in heavy conversation of what to do”, Tigers general manager Al Avila said.

“I bring up the average age a little bit”, Wolf joked. He struck out four.

The Detroit Tigers’ bats woke up the recent evenings in Chicago as they cleared the Cubs in a two amusement arrangement by outscoring them 25-16.

HOUSTON – Chris Archer pitched a one-hitter, allowing only a fifth-inning single by Colby Rasmus, and struck out 11 to lead Tampa Bay over Houston. Beltre scored as Andrus followed with a grounder to second base. This is hardly the first time an incident like this has taken place at Major League Baseball ballparks.

By the close of the seventh inning, he was riding a streak of nine consecutive batters retired with just 78 pitches on his ledger, including only 28 balls. The teams competing for the Wild Card in the American League have not been able to really distance themselves yet from the rest of the pack, making the last month or so of the season interesting.
